Default first layer of non sanded grout applied

I don't know how to make the grout gray. I will read. The magnetic door is off due to under cutting by 1/4 in. in two areas however it does still work leaving a 1/8 in. gap all around due to an overly large rivet 5.32 in. too.

Second layer of grout added and concrete on the top and bottom of the setup for extra protection from the heat lamp or burrowing mealworms and other insects. The middle section looks grey thanks to mink on when to add acrylic paint to grout. I had some trouble finding paint but Dollar Tree had some and eventuall mixing basic colors together worked out.
